PREFACE 


In the following pages I have endeavoured to furnish 
information respecting the Indian Civil Service — its 
qualifications, salaries, &c.—on the plan adopted by me 
in my Guide to the English Civil Service. Considering 
the attention which the Indian Civil Service is now 
attracting at home, it seems strange that, until the issue 
of this work, no Guide to the Civil Service of India should 
have appeared. The reason is, however, soon explained. 
The Indian Civil Service, unlike the Home Service, offers 
no detailed account of its expenditure, so that the scale 
of Indian official salaries is at present almost unknown 
in England. The standards of qualification for the dif¬ 
ferent examinations, the mode of examination, and the 
examination papers, are published annually by the Civil 
Service Commissioners in their Reports, and can be con¬ 
sulted by all. The rules as regards furlough and the 
appointments of Chaplains appear in the Indian Civil 
Service List, and are open to every inquirer. But the 
Scale of Salaries, which I consider the most important 
portion of my Guide, has never before appeared in any 
Report, List, or Almanack in the connected form under 
which I now present it. And for the possession of this 
information I am indebted to Mr. Frank Thompson, of the 


PREFACE.

India Office, who kindly placed at my service various 
quasi-official authorities preserved in the India Office, and 
I beg here to tender him my most grateful thanks. 

“ The Guide to the Indian Civil Service ” is the only 
work on the subject which embraces in one volume the 
standard of qualifications, and scales of salaries of the 
different appointments in the various Presidencies, to¬ 
gether with other information useful to the Indian Civil 
Service student; and as it has cost me no little labour 
to compile and arrange, I trust it will satisfy a great 
public want.

In consequence of a report drawn up in 1854 by a 
committee appointed for the purpose, the important and 
lucrative appointments in the Civil Service of India, 
which had been previously at the disposal of the directors 
of the East India Company, were thrown open to public 
competition among all natural born subjects of Her 
Majesty within certain limits of age. The first examina¬ 
tion on this system took place in 1855, and was held 
under the direction of the Commissioners for the affairs 
of India; as were also the examinations of 1856 and 1857. 
In 1858 Lord Ellenborough, being then President of the 
Board, requested the Civil Service Commissioners to 
undertake the management of the annual competition, 
a request to which the Commissioners willingly acceded. 

The maximum age of admission to the open competition 
was originally fixed at twenty-three, with the view of in¬ 
cluding Bachelors of Arts of Oxford and Cambridge. In 


10 


GUIDE TO THE 


the Regulations for the year 1859 it was lowered to twenty- 
two, on the ground that candidates selected at any later 
age, if they were kept in England for even one year of 
special study, would then be too old to commence life in 
India, and in the belief that the reduced limit somewhat 
’exceeded the average age at which the B.A. degree is 
taken. In 1866 it was further lowered to twenty-one, in 
consequence of the introduction, at the instance of the 
Government of India, of a system whereby the successful 
candidates were to pass a probation of two years in this 
country; and the minimum limit, which had hitherto 
been eighteen, was reduced at the same time to seven¬ 
teen. 

It was always intended that the candidates selected by 
open competition should undergo some special training, 
and be submitted to some further test before proceeding 
to India, and rules were framed for this purpose in 1855 ; 
but, in consequence of the great want of public servants 
at that time existing in India, it was found necessary to 
dispense with these rules for a time ; and the successful 
competitors of 1855, 1856, and 1857 went out without 
having passed any further examination. In 1858 a 
partial return was made to the scheme as originally 
designed; a brief period of probation being prescribed, 
to be followed by an examination in a limited range of 
subjects. In the next year the term of probation was 
lengthened to one year, the range of the final examina¬ 
tion being considerably extended, so as to include, with 
other subjects, a knowledge of at least one Oriental 
language, and the Theory and Practice of Law ; and an 
allowance of £100 was made to each selected candi¬ 
date to assist him in the prosecution of these studies. 

A still more important change took place in the year 
1864, when, in compliance with a proposal made by the 
Indian Government, the Secretary of State decided that 
the examinations hitherto held at the Presidency towns 
should be abolished, and that the preliminary training of 
the young civilians,. even in the vernacular languages, 
should be completed in this country; it being understood 
that the same degree of proficiency in these languages, 
which had previously been required in the examinations 


INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE, 


11 


held at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, should henceforth 
be exacted at the final examination in England. A pro¬ 
bationary period of two years was allowed to the candi¬ 
dates to prepare for this final examination, and an 
additional allowance of £200 was granted to cover the 
expenses of the second year. 

As it was obviously undesirable that the young 
civilians should be left entirely to themselves during this 
period of two years, without any guarantee for their 
course of study, a system of half-yearly examinations 
was instituted with the view of securing on their part 
continuous application to the subjects on which they 
would be examined. 

Up to the year 1862 selected candidates, who failed in 
their Further Examination, were commonly, by the in¬ 
dulgence of the Secretary of State, allowed a second trial, 
provided that they were not beyond twenty-four years of 
age. But the result of this indulgence was found to be a 
relaxation of diligence on the part of the probationers ; 
and in the Regulations for 1863 it was announced that 
candidates rejected at the Further Examination, would 
in no case be allowed to present themselves for re¬ 
examination ; and this rule is still in force. 

The following tables, extracted from the Civil Service 
Commissioners’ Report, are inserted as presenting some 
facts which may be of interest in connection with these 
examinations:—

ADVANTAGES OF THE INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE. 

The scale of salaries, a few pages further, will clearly 
show what lucrative appointments the Indian Civil 
Service possesses. As a general rule, the young Civil 
servant commences with a salary of £480 a year, rising, 
as vacancies occur, to £600, £840, £1,080, £1,200, 
£1,800, £2,300, £2,700, £3,000, or £3,500 a year. Pro¬ 
motion is chiefly by merit, and, provided his health 
and character be good, every Civil servant appointed an 
Assistant to a Magistrate, may reasonably indulge in the 
hope of becoming in due time a Joint Magistrate and 
Deputy Collector, then Magistrate and Collector, and, 
perhaps, finally, a Civil and Session Judge, or a Com¬ 
missioner of Revenue and Circuit, or even a Judge of the 
High Court of Judicature. Again, in addition to the 
already very lucrative appointments which the Indian 



















INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE. 


13 


Civil Service holds out as an inducement to its servants, 
it possesses another great advantage in the plan of fre¬ 
quently uniting several appointments in the hands of one 
official. Thus, a man may be a Sub-Collector and Magis¬ 
trate at one place, and yet be Collector and Magistrate at 
another, receiving, of course, double salary; or he may 
be, as is sometimes the case, a Deputy Commissioner of 
Customs, a Collector and Magistrate, and a Commissioner 
of Opium, with a magnificent threefold salary. It 
should also be remembered that the mere official salary 
of an appointment is seldom the only remuneration 
obtained. An assistant to a Magistrate and Collector, 
receiving the salary of say 400 rupees a month, in 
many cases doubles or trebles it by his Deputation, 
Travelling, Durbar, Moonshee, or other allowances. In 
short, the Indian Civil Service, both from its pecuniary 
prizes and the positions of high social influence which it 
offers, is the most splendid career that any country can 
offer to its young men of talent. 

It has often been a subject of discussion whether the 
throwing open of the Indian Civil Service to public com¬ 
petition has been, after all, a successful measure. Some 
old Indians —laudatores temporis acti —are wont to make 
the most doleful prophecies regarding the results of 
abolishing Haileybury, and introducing the Civil Service 
Commissioners in its place. They are fond of constantly 
asserting that “ the Service is not what it was,’’ “ the 
young men are not what they used to be”—in fact, 
that nothing is what it used to be. Socially, perhaps, 
the Indian Civil Service may have suffered. Formerly, 
the young civilians sent out were relations of the directors, 
or of other important officials whose names were them¬ 
selves at once an introduction to Indian society, and 
respected by the natives; whereas at the present day any 
man who has brains and a certificate of birth can obtain 
what was once in a great measure the result of patronage. 
But respecting this assumed degeneracy of the Indian 
Civil Service, the Commissioners say that it may perhaps 
be expected that they should be able to make some 
statement as to the character of the results which have 
been obtained by the system of public competition. “ But 


14 


GUIDE TO THE 


those results,” they state, “can hardly be said to have 
been sufficiently tested up to the present time. It may, 
indeed, be shown that the young civilians selected by 
open competition, who, under the scheme which has 
recently been superseded, underwent examinations in 
languages at the presidency towns of India, were able 
to pass those examinations, on the average, in a shorter 
time than was usual under the old system; and it may 
be added that they have carried out with them a 
valuable amount of legal knowledge. But a further 
period must elapse before it can be seen how far this 
proficiency in languages and in law is accompanied by 
a corresponding degree of capacity for the practical dis¬ 
charge of important duties. It may, however, perhaps 
be stated generally that the evidence, sd far as it goes, 
is favourable; as is shown by the following extract from 
a despatch written by the Government of India, on the 
5th of May, 1866, and published in a return to an 
address of the House of Commons, dated the 26th May, 
1865 

“ ‘ We would observe that as the Civil servants who 
were first appointed under the system of competitive 
examination have not yet been ten years in India, and 
as, consequently, the great majority of the servants so 
appointed are still holding very subordinate positions in 
the public service, it would, in our opinion, be premature 
to pronounce conclusively whether or not the Civil Ser¬ 
vice has on the whole been improved by the present 
system. 

“ ‘ We are inclined, however, to believe that it has; 
for it may at least, we think, be confidently affirmed that 
the present system is effective to exclude great ineffi¬ 
ciency, which undoubtedly was not excluded under the 
old system; and, also, that the young men who enter 
the service under the present system are, as a rule, more 
highly educated than those who found admittance under 
the former system. Even if there should be some defects 
in the present system, and we are not now prepared to 
point to any, we are disposed to think that they would 
be more than counterbalanced by the results above- 
mentioned.’ 


INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE.

“ On one point of importance—viz., the physical com¬ 
petence of the selected candidates, regarding which we 
believe that doubts are sometimes entertained—we are 
able to appeal to the testimony of Dr. Gull, of Brook 
Street, who has for several years acted as our chief 
adviser on medical questions; and who has recently 
stated to us in the following terms the result of his obser¬ 
vations :— 

“‘Having now for seven years medically examined 
the candidates who have passed the open competition for 
the Indian Civil Service, I am able to make you the 
following report of their physical condition. 

“ ‘ As the candidates have individually appeared before 
me I have noted the height and robustness of each. If 
I found an unexceptional development of the frame, I 
marked the candidate 100. If only moderate or mean 
strength, 85. If inclined to be weak, 75. I need not 
add, since you know, that if there were any important 
weakness the candidate was rejected. 

“ ‘ I find in the first division - - - 295 

,, in the second division - 121 

,, in the third division - 52 

“ ‘ The mean height, as far as I could ascertain it with¬ 
out actual measurement, was rather over 5ft. 9in. 

“ ‘ Though these numbers have no strictly rigid value, 
they still fairly express the character of the men in 
respect of their general vigour and appearance. 

“‘It has been forced upon me, by the duties thns 
performed, that superior physical health and strength are 
generally essential to success in those competitive ex¬ 
aminations. 

“ ‘ I have further noted that a history of healthy parents 
and numerous brothers and sisters coincided for the most 
part with the characters of strength presented by the 
candidate himself. 

“ ‘ As the candidates have had to appear before me, not 
only after their first competitive examination, but also 
just prior to their leaving for India, I have had an oppor¬ 
tunity of observing that their status of health was some¬ 
what higher at the second than at their first appearance. 5 ”

SUBJECTS OE EXAMINATION. 

Any natural born subject of Her Majesty, who is 
desirous of entering tbe Civil Service of India, will be 
entitled to be examined at tbe different examinations, 
provided, before his examination, and on a day fixed 
by the Civil Service Commissioners, he shall have trans¬ 
mitted to the Civil Service Commissioners, Dean’s Yard, 
London, S.W.

candidates who shall have obtained a greater aggregate 
number of marks than any of the remaining candidates 
will be set forth in order of merit, and such candidates 
shall be deemed to be selected candidates for the Civil 
Service of India. They shall be permitted to choose, 
according to the order in which they stand, as long as 
a choice remains, the Presidency (and in Bengal, the 
division of the Presidency) to which they shall be 
appointed. 

PULES TO BE OBSERVED DURING THE 
EXAMINATION. 

1. No candidate will be allowed to quit the Examina¬ 
tion Room on any day until the expiration of half an 
hour from the time fixed for the commencement of the 
examination, and candidates arriving after the expira¬ 
tion of that half hour will not be admitted. 

2. It is requested that the number placed in the 
margin (and not the name of the candidate) be placed 
at the head of each sheet of paper sent in to the 
Examiners. 

3. Candidates are requested to write on one side only 
of the paper supplied to them. 

4. No candidate who has left the Examination Room 
during the hours assigned to paper-work will be per¬ 
mitted to return to the paper which he quitted. 

5. Candidates wishing for explanations of the questions 
before them should apply to the Examiners. 

6. Any candidate detected in the use of a book or 
manuscript brought with him for his assistance, or in 
copying from the papers of any other candidate, or in 
giving or receiving assistance of any description, will be 
regarded as disqualified, and his name will be removed 
from the list. 

7. There will be a viva voce examination in each 
subject. 

8. Candidates are requested to communicate in writing 
to the Secretary to the Civil Service Commissioners their 


INDIAN CIVIL SEEVICE. 19

INSTRUCTIONS EOR THE GUIDANCE OF 
THE SELECTED CANDIDATES. 

Selected candidates before proceeding to India will be 
held on probation for two years,* during which time 


* The Secretary of State for India in Council has authorised the 
Civil Service Commissioners to state that it is his intention to allow 
the sum of £100 for the first year of probation, and £200 for the second 
year, to each selected candidate who shall have passed the required 
examinations to the satisfaction of the Commissioners, and shall have 
complied with such rules as may be laid down for the guidance of 
selected candidates. All selected candidates will he required, after 
having passed the second periodical examination, to attend at the India 
Office for the purpose of entering into an agreement binding them¬ 
selves, amongst other things, to refund in certain cases the amount of 
their allowance in the event of their failing to proceed to India. If a 
candidate is under age a surety is required. After passing the Final 
Examination each candidate will be required to attend again at the 
India Office, with the view of entering into covenants and giving a bond 
for £1,000, jointly with two sureties, for the due fulfilment of the same. 
The stamps payable by civilians on these documents amount to £3 10s. 
Candidates rejected at the Final Examination will in no case be allowed 
to present themselves for re-examination.

they will be examined periodically with the view of test¬ 
ing their progress in the following subjects:— 

Marks. 


1. ( Sanskrit ... ... ... ... ... 500 

| Vernacular Languages of India (each) ... 400 

2. The History and Geography of India ... ... 350 

3. The General Principles of Jurisprudence and 

the Elements of Hindu and Mohammedan

4. Political Economy .350 


In this, as in the open competition, the merit of the 
candidates examined will be estimated by marks, and the 
number set opposite to each subject denotes the greatest 
number of marks that can be obtained in respect of it. 
The examination will be conducted by means of printed 
questions and written answers, and by viva voce examina¬ 
tion, as may be deemed necessary. The marks obtained 
at each of such periodical examinations will be added to 
those previously or subsequently obtained. The last of 
these examinations will be held at the close of the second 
year of probation, and will be called the “Final Ex¬ 
amination.” By the merit then shown it will be decided 
whether a selected candidate is qualified for the Civil 
Service of India. 

No candidate will be permitted to proceed to India 
until he shall have passed the Final Examination, and 
received a certificate of qualification from the Civil Service 
Commissioners, or after he shall have attained the age of 
twenty-four years. 

The selected candidates who at the Final Examination 
shall be found to have a competent knowledge of the 
subjects above specified, shall be adjudged to have passed, 
and to be entitled to be appointed to the Civil Service of 
India. 

The seniority in the Civil Service of India of the se¬ 
lected candidates shall be determined according to the 
order in which they stand on the list resulting from the 
Final Examination. 

No person will, even after passing the Final Examina¬ 
tion, be allowed to proceed to India unless he shall comply

with, the regulations in force at the time for the Civil 
Service of India, and shall be of sound bodily health and 
good moral character. The Civil Service Commissioners 
will require such farther evidence on these points as they 
may deem necessary before granting their certificate of 
qualification. 

Applications from persons desirous to be admitted as 
candidates are to be addressed to the Secretary to the 
Civil Service Commissioners, Dean’s Yard, London, S.W. 

The Civil Service Commissioners state that it “is ex¬ 
pected that the selected candidates will at once begin to 
prepare for their further examination. They will remem¬ 
ber that they have been selected on the ground of superior 
proficiency in subjects which (with the exception of Arabic 
and Sanskrit) are included within the ordinary range of 
English education. The Civil Service Commissioners 
believe that no better presumptive evidence of fitness 
can be obtained; but it must rest with the candidates 
themselves to give more conclusive evidence, by showing 
aptitude in acquiring the special knowledge necessary for 
them in the positions which they hope to gain. It is not 
improbable that they will in some cases be reluctant to 
give up the pursuit of university distinction; but, if 
well advised, they will at once lay aside other subjects in 
order that they may devote themselves the more assidu¬ 
ously to those in which they will be examined. It should 
be distinctly understood that in the Further Examination 
the requirements of universities or colleges will not be re¬ 
garded as affording an excuse for imperfect preparation. 
Each candidate in choosing his place of residence for the 
year should carefully consider what facilities will be 
afforded him for the prosecution of his studies; and in 
this respect it should be remembered that London has 
advantages for the study of law which can be obtained 
in no other part of the United Kingdom.” 

The following instructions relate to the several subjects 
of the Further Examination. 

I. —LANGUAGES. 

Every candidate will be required to pass, to the satis¬ 
faction of the Commissioners, in two vernacular languages 


22 


GUIDE TO THE 


current in his Presidency or division of Presidency. The 
languages prescribed for the several presidencies are the 
following:— 


N.W. Provinces, Oude and the Punjab... 
•Bengal (Lower Provinces) 

Madbas. 

Bombay . 


Hindi. 

Hindustani. 

Bengali. 

Hindustani. 

Tamil. 

Telugu. 

Gujarati. 

Marathi. 


The final test of qualification in each of these languages 
will include a sound knowledge of the grammar, facility 
in translating from and into the language, familiarity 
with the writton character, and some proficiency in 
speaking the language. 

In addition to the two prescribed languages, candidates 
may take up any one or more of the other vernacular 
languages of India (including, besides those named above, 
Arabic, Persian, Canarese, Malayalum, and others), for 
each of which 400 marks will be assigned. They are also 
at liberty to take up Sanskrit, for which 500 marks are 
assigned. But proficiency in these additional languages 
will not be accepted as compensating for deficiency in 
those which are prescribed. 


II.—LAW. 

Examinations will be held under the following 
heads:— 

1. General Jurisprudence. 

2. Proceedings in English Courts of Justice, with 

some of the leading principles of the Law of 
Evidence. 

3. Laws of India. 

1. TJnder the head of “General Jurisprudence ” candi¬ 
dates will be expected to have mastered the contents of 
the following books, or such portions of them as may be 
indicated by special instructions :— 





INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE. 


23 


“Blackstone’s Commentaries,” edited by R. M. Kerr, 
LL.D., Yol. I. (containing the “Introduction” 
and the “ Eights of Persons ”). 

Austin’s “Jurisprudence,” Yol. I. 

The “ Institutes of Justinian,” edited by Sandars. 

Maine’s “ Ancient Law.” 

“Studies in Eoman Law, with Comparative Yiews of 
the Laws of Prance, England, and Scotland.” 
By Lord Mackenzie. 

Bentham’s “ Theory of Legislation.” By Dumont.* 

2 Under the second head every candidate is required to 
send in at least six weeks before each half-yearly ex¬ 
amination, reports of a specified number of cases heard by 
himself in courts of justice, in accordance with the regula¬ 
tions set forth below. Should, however, the set of reports 
sent in by a candidate in any half year fall below a 
reasonable standard, either in the choice of subject-matter 
or in the manner of treating it, or should the viva voce 
examination show that no sufficient knowledge of the 
meaning and conduct of the proceedings reported has been 
gained, the candidate may be required to attend and report 
a further number of cases from such courts as the Civil 
Service Commissioners may prescribe. 

The object aimed at in this course of reporting is, that 
the candidate should acquire clear ideas as to the conduct of 
a judicial inquiry into such facts as form the ordinary staple 
of business in the civil and criminal courts of this country, 
and some familiarity with the principles on which the 
rules of evidence and procedure enforced in those courts 
are founded. Candidates will, therefore, do well to avoid, 
rather than to select, for the first year at least, cases 
involving abstruse legal questions or difficult techni¬ 
calities. 

The following points are to be attended to in the pre¬ 
paration, &c., of the reports :— 

(a) Each report should contain the title of the court, 
the names of the judge and the parties, the time 


* AA English translation is published by Trtibner and Co., Paternoster 
How. 


24 


GUIDE TO TIIE 


and place of trial, and tlie matter of tlie charge, 
cause of action, &c. The reports should state, 
fully and methodically, the substance of the 
evidence given (reporting it in the first person, 
and marking whether it was elicited in chief, 
cross, or re-examination)—the objections made 
to evidence, whether oral or documentary—the 
points, if any, on which a conflict of evidence has 
arisen—the arguments of counsel—the view taken 
by the judge—and the ultimate result; besides 
noting the course of procedure, and any other 
details which may appear worthy of observa¬ 
tion. 

(b) The candidate is to underline, in the body of his 

report, such portions of the evidence as appear to 
him specially cogent and material, and to state 
in the margin opposite, in the shortest possible 
note, the reason why. 

(c) In addition to the more extended report, a very short 

analytical statement of each case is to be given, 
showing, in criminal cases, the facts necessary to 
constitute the offence charged, and in civil cases, 
the exact points in issue, with the bearing of the 
evidence upon them. In working out this 
summary, clearness and precision should b© 
steadily kept in view. 

( d ) Each candidate is to append to his reports a decla¬ 

ration that they have been obtained by his per¬ 
sonal attendance in court, and are bona fide his 
own composition, without revision or help given 
by another person, or derived from another 
report. 

(e) Foolscap paper is to be used (on one side only) with 

a margin; and attention must be paid to hand¬ 
writing, which should be clear and large. 

The Commissioners will, if applied to, endeavour to 
facilitate the admission of candidates to those courts of 
justice in which any special arrangement for their ac¬ 
commodation can be made. 

Candidates will also be required to show a fair acquaint- 




INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE.

ance with the leading principles of the Law of Evidence; 
and at each periodical examination a paper will be set 
embracing questions under one or more of the following 
heads:— 

Grounds of Belief. 

Best Evidence. 

Secondary Evidence. 

Hearsay 

Confession. 

Examination of Witnesses. 

Interpretation of Writings. 

The functions of a Judge as distinguished from those 
of a Jury. 

Questions upon the application of these principles to the 
cases heard by candidates in courts of justice will be put 
to them in the course of a viva voce examination on such 
cases. 

3. The examination in the Laws of Lndia will include 
papers and viva voce examination in the following 
branches:— 

(a) The Letters Patent issued under the Act 24 & 25 

Yict. c. 104, for establishing High Courts of 
Judicature in India.* * * § 

(b) The Code of Civil Procedure.! 

(c) The Indian Penal Code.J 

( d ) The Code of Criminal Procedure^ 

(e) The Intestate and Testamentary Succession (British 

India) Act, 1865.|| 

* Copies of these Letters Patent will be delivered to candidates at 
the proper time. 

t The book recommended is the work by Wm. Macpherson, Esq., 
published by R. C. Lepage and Co., 1, Whitefriars Street., Fleet Street,

this work at the trade price, on making direct application to the 
publishers.

PENSIONS. 

A covenanted civil servant, having served 25 years, and 
having actually resided in India 22 years, or 21 years in 
the event of his having been absent for one year from 
certified sickness, is eligible to retire on an annuity from 
the Civil Service Annuity Eund of £500 per annum, and 
such further annual amount as a deduction at the rate of 
4 per cent, made from his salary duriDg the whole period of 
his service, and accumulated at 6 per cent, per annum, 
may be equivalent to. 


c

GUIDE TO THE 


No pension is granted directly by Government, the 
affairs of the Civil Service Annuity Fond being ad¬ 
ministered by managers appointed by the civil servants. 
Subscription to the fund is compulsory on covenanted 
civil servants. 

Extract fbom Financial Letter to India, dated 
25th November, 1862. No. 193. 

{Paragraph 3.) In regard to the period of service which 
is in future to be required as a qualification for an annuity, 1 
Her Majesty’s Government see no reason for altering the 
period of 25 years’ service and 22 years’ residence (in¬ 
cluding one year’s sick leave, if such has been taken, as 
at present); but they cannot allow any future special 
leave of absence from India on private affairs to count as 
residence. 

4. No sufficient ground appears to have been assigned 
for increasing or altering the amount of the full annuity, j 
which must, therefore, remain at £1,000, or of the amount 
of the per-eentage of deduction from salaries, which will 
continue at 4 per cent.; the amount of subscriptions to 
accumulate, as at present, at 6 per cent, interest. 

5. Her Majesty’s Government are of opinion that there 
is ground for making some alteration in the terms on 
which annuities are granted, and they have decided that a 
civil servant who has completed the prescribed period of 
service and residence shall be granted by Government an 
annuity of £'600, and that he shall have the option of 
taking in addition an annuity of the amount, not exceeding 
£400, which his accumulated subscriptions with interest 
will purchase according to the table now in force, or of 
adding to his subscriptions such a sum as will purchase , 
an annuity of any amount which, added to the £600 - 
granted by Government, will not exceed the full annuity 
of £1,000. They have also decided that annuities, 4 
without limitation as to number, may be granted on 
application at any time to covenanted civil servants who 
have completed the prescribed periods of service and 
residence, and whose resignations of the service have been 
accepted; and that those civil servants who have obtained 
annuities since the memorials were sent in, be admitted

from this date to ttie benefit of the arrangement now 
sanctioned. 

6. It must be clearly understood tbat in the event of 
the death of a subscriber, his accumulated subscriptions 
will lapse, and that no refund of subscriptions can under 
any circumstances be allowed. 

7. Her Majesty’s Government are also disposed to 
make some provision for covenanted civil servants who, 
having devoted a portion of their lives and energies, and 
especially those years during which men qualify for a 
profession, to the service of Government, are deprived of 
the fruits of their labour by sickness, which may compel 
them to resign the service before they have become en¬ 
titled to an annuity. 

In any such cases, when clearly proved by medical cer¬ 
tificate, the following pensions may be granted :— 


If under 5 years’ service, a grant of £500. 

Of 5 years’ service, and under 10, an annuity of £150.

Rules regarding Leave of Absence to Covenanted Civil 
Servants. 

Definitions. 

1. In the following Rules, 

“Actual Service” includes the period during which an 
officer is on duty, also periods spent on Privilege and 
Subsidiary Leave, and periods during which an officer, 
not on leave, may be out of employ on subsistence

“Extraordinary Leave” means any leave granted 
otherwise than under these Eules. 

“Long Extraordinary Leave” means extraordinary 
leave extending beyond a period of three months. 

“Long Furlough” means furlough extending beyond 
a period of three months. 

“ Salary” includes acting allowances. 

An officer’s “ Station” means that station to which he 
stands appointed, or such other place as the Government 
to which he is subordinate may determine. 

FURLOUGH. 

2. The maximum period of furlough which can be 
granted to any officer during the whole period of his 
service is limited to six years. 

3. Subject to the above limit, furlough shall be placed 
to the credit of each officer, at the proportional rate of 
one year’s furlough for every four years of actual service.* 

4. No furlough shall be taken before the completion of 
eight years’ actual service, except under Eule 8. 

5. Furlough shall not be repeated until three years 
from the date of the last return from long extraordinary 
leave or long furlough, except under Eule 8. 

* A civil servant who has taken leave on medical certificate under 
leave rules prior to those of 1868, will not he debited with such leave, 
up to the limit of one year, against furlough which would otherwise be 
at his credit. All such leave shall, however, be included in the maxi* 
mum amount of six years fixed in Rule 2 of the Rules of 1868. 


42 


GUIDE TO THE 


6. The maximum term of furlough to be taken at any¬ 
one time shall be two years. 

7. Except as' hereinafter provided, an officer, when on 
furlough, shall retain a lien on his substantive appoint¬ 
ment, or on an appointment of similar character and not 
less salary, and he shall be granted allowances at the rate 
of fifty per cent, of his average salary for the previous 
three years, or for the period which has elapsed since hi3 
last return from long furlough or long extraordinary 
leave, if that period be less than three years. 

In calculating such average, the time spent and the 
allowances drawn under any leave, excepting Privilege 
Leave, shall be omitted. 

Provided that no officer on furlough shall draw more 
than £1,200, or less than £300 per annum 

8. Under medical certificate— 

(a) Furlough may be taken on the above-mentioned 

conditions, without reference to the amount at 
credit under Eule 3. 

(b) Furlough for a period not exceeding one year may 

be taken, even if less than three years have 
elapsed since the last return from long extra¬ 
ordinary leave or long furlough. "When on 
furlough under this clause, an officer will not 
retain a lien on his appointment, and will be 
entitled only to subsistence allowance, unless 
he has completed six months’ actual service since 
his last return from long extraordinary leave or 
long furlough, and there remain some leave to 
his credit under Ernie 3, in which case the officer 
will retain a lien on his appointment, and will 
draw allowances as calculated under Eule 7, 
until that credit be exhausted, but in no case 
for a period exceeding one year. 

(c) Furlough taken without medical certificate, or 

under Clause (a) of this rule, may be extended 
beyond two years for a period not exceeding one 
year. When on furlough under this clause, an

ment, and will be entitled only to subsistence 
allowance.* 

9. Furlough taken or extended under Eule 8 is subject 
| to the provision of Eule 2. 

10. Furlough taken in India will be reckoned from the 
date of the officer quitting his station to the date of his 

t return thereto. Furlough taken out of India will be 
reckoned from the date of embarkation to the date of 
return. 

In the event of the furlough being taken partly in 
India and partly out of India, the commencement and ter¬ 
mination of the furlough will be determined by the above 
rules, according as the furlough begins or ends in or out 
of India. 

11. For the interval elapsing between departure from 
his station and the commencement of furlough, and be¬ 
tween the termination of furlough and the re-arrival at 
his station, an officer shall be allowed subsidiary leave 
not ordinarily exceeding in each case thirty days. During 
those periods his allowances will be calculated in the same 
way as his furlough allowances, but without limitation 
as to maximum and minimum. Provided that if the 
officer has, under these rules, lost his lien on his appoint¬ 
ment, he shall draw subsistence allowance of his rank. 
Subsidiary leave shall count as service and residence. 

12. Applications for furlough will in all cases be sub¬ 
mitted to the Government to which the applicant is 
subordinate, and will be dealt with in such manner as 
the Governor- General of India in Council may from time 
to time prescribe. 

13. Subject to the exigencies of the service, both as 
regards the number of furloughs available at any one 
time, and as regards individual applications, of which 
exigencies the Government of India, Madras, or Bombay,

as the case may be, shall be exclusively the judge, 
furloughs will be granted under these rules. 

14. All applications for furlough under medical cer- 
tificate, in accordance with these rules, will be granted 
without restriction. 

15. If, owing to the exigencies of the service, it may be 
necessary to place any limit on the number of officers i 
who may be absent on furlough at the same time, appli¬ 
cations not supported by medical certificate will be 
granted in the following order :— 

The applicant to whose credit the greatest amount of 
furlough remains under Rule 3 shall have the preference. 

If two or more applicants are on an equality in this 
respect, the preference shall be given to the applicant 
whose actual service in India is longest, reckoning, in the 
case of an officer who has not taken long extraordinary 
leave or long furlough, from the date of arrival in India; 
and in the case of an officer who has taken long extra¬ 
ordinary leave or long furlough, from the date of his 
return from such leave or furlough. 

If two or more applicants are equal in this respect, 
the preference shall be given to the senior in the Grada¬ 
tion List. 

16. The term of residence qualifying for pension shall 
be twenty-one years, but no leave, except privilege leave 
and subsidiary leave, shall count as residence. 

17. The term of service qualifying for pension shall be 
twenty-five years. 

PRIVILEGE LEAVE. 

18. Subject to the exigencies of the State, an officer who 
has completed eleven months’ continuous duty may take 
privilege leave for one month without deduction from his 
salary, retaining a lien on his appointment whether 
substantive or officiating. Provided that in the case of 
his holding an officiating appointment, such lien and his 
acting allowance will cease on the resumption of charge 
by the officer to whom the substantive appointment 
belongs. 

19. In the same manner, and under the same con¬ 
ditions, two or three months’ privilege leave may be taken 



INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE. 


45 


when an officer has completed continuous duty of twenty- 
two or thirty-three months respectively. 

20. Privilege leave may, at the discretion of the local 
Government, be taken in separate instalments. No 
second instalment shall be taken until after the com¬ 
pletion of six months’ continuous duty from the expiry 
of the first instalment. In this case, the eleven months 
qualifying for fresh privilege leave will be reckoned from 
the expiry of the first instalment, the period of the second 
instalment being omitted from the calculation. 

Provided that the whole privilege leave taken at any 
one time shall not exceed three months, and that no 
accumulation of privilege leave beyond that period shall 
be admitted. 

21. If an officer shall overstay his privilege leave, he 
shall forfeit all salary during the time of his remaining 
so absent; and if he shall continue absent for more 
than one week, his office shall become vacant. 

22. Privilege leave will be reckoned as residence and 
service. 

SPECIAL LEAVE. 

23. Special leave, on urgent private affairs, may be 
granted at the discretion of the local Government for a 
period not exceeding six months. In respect of retention 
of a lien on appointment, of allowance drawn during the 
leave, and of subsidiary leave, the conditions of special 
leave shall be the same as those prescribed for furlough. 
Special leave shall not be reckoned as residence. 

24. Pule 21 shall, mutatis mutandis , apply to an officer 
over-staying special leave. 

25. Special leave may be repeated without allowances 
after intervals of at least six years’ service. 

GENERAL. 

26. Furlough, privilege leave, and special leave shall 
not be taken as such in continuation of each other; but 
if an officer absent on one of these classes of leave be 
allowed to change it for another, the whole period of his 
absence shall be held to be under the class of leave for 
which it was changed. 


46 


GUIDE TO THE 


27. Subject to considerations of State, there will be no 
restriction as to the places where an officer may reside 
when on leave. 

28. Leave allowance shall be payable monthly if

taken in England. 

Temporary Rules. 

29. Whatever aggregate amount out of the three years’ 
furlough and three years’ sick leave, under the rules until 
now in force, at present remains to be taken by an officer 
under the said rules, shall remain to be taken by him 
under rules now promulgated. 

30. Any officer now in the service shall, when next 
proceeding on furlough, elect whether he will draw 
allowances at the higher minimum rate of £500 per 
annum (not exceeding his total salary at the time). If 
he shall so elect, he will in any future furlough be 
limited, as to allowance, to the lower maximum rate of 
£1,000 per annum. 

31. Any officer now absent on leave, who has no 
appointment, may on his return, and until he again* 
holds an appointment carrying equal pay to that of the 
substantive appointment which he last held, draw the 
subsistence allowance of his rank, together with seventy- 
five per cent, of the pay of any appointment in which he 
shall officiate. Provided that the total salary so drawn 
by him shall not exceed the pay of the appointment in 
which he is officiating. This rule shall apply to any 
officer who may have already returned from furlough. 

32. Any officer now absent on furlough, or under 
medical certificate, may elect whether the remainder of 
his leave shall be taken under these rules from the date 
of their promulgation. If he shall so elect, Eule 30 shall 
apply to him 

Rules regarding Acting Allowances. 

1. An officer holding a substantive appointment, and 
officiating in an appointment of a higher grade or class, 
shall draw acting allowance calculated at thirty per cent, 
on the first 2,000 rupees, and twenty per cent, on the re-

mainder of the pay of the appointment in which he is 
officiating. 

Provided that if the acting allowance so calculated do 
not amount to two-thirds of the difference between the 
pay of the two appointments, it shall be raised to two- 
thirds. 

Provided further, that in no case shall the whole 
salary so drawn exceed the pay of the appointment in 
which the officer is officiating. 

2. An officer holding no substantive, but only an 
officiating appointment, shall, subject to the provision in 
Pule 1, draw, in addition to the subsistence allowance of 
his rank, fifty per cent, of the pay of the appointment in 
which he is officiating. 

3. In the case of an officer officiating in an appointment 
the pay of which is progressive, his acting allowance 
shall be calculated on the mean pay of the said appoint¬ 
ment, provided that the whole salary so drawn shall not 
exceed the minimum pay of the said appointment.

ficate, in accordance with these rules, shall be granted 
without restriction. 

14. If, owing to the exigencies of the Service, it may be 
necessary to place any limit on the number of Chaplains 
who may be absent on furlough at the same time, appli¬ 
cations not supported by medical certificate shall be 
granted in the following order:— 

The applicant to whose credit the greatest amount of 
furlough remains under Buie 3 shall have the preference. 

If two or more applicants are on an equality in this 
respect, the preference shall be given to the applicant 
whose actual service in India is longest, reckoning in the 
case of a Chaplain who has not taken long extraordinary 
leave, or long furlough, from the date of his arrival in 
India, and in the case of a Chaplain who has taken long 
extraordinary leave, or long furlough, from the date of 
his last return from such leave or furlough. 

If two or more applicants are equal in both respects, 
the preference shall be given to the senior in the Grada¬ 
tion List. 


PRIVILEGE LEAVE. 

15. Subject to the exigencies of the State, a Chaplain 
who has completed five months’ continuous duty may 
take privilege leave for one month without deduction 
from his salary or house-rent, but with loss of conveyance 
and gaol allowances. 

16. In the same manner, and under the same conditions, 
two or three months’ privilege leave may be taken when a 


INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE. 51 

Chaplain has completed continuous duty cf ten months 
and fifteen months respectively. 

17. If a Chaplain shall overstay his privilege leave, he 
shall forfeit all salary during the time of his remaining 
so absent. 

SPECIAL LEAVE. 

18. Special leave on urgent private affairs may be 
granted at the discretion of the Government for a period 
not exceeding six months. In respect of allowances to 
be drawn during the leave and of subsidiary leave, the 
conditions of special leave shall be the same as those 
prescribed for furlough under Rules 7 and 11. 

19. Rule 17 shall, mutatis mutandis, apply to a Chaplain 
overstaying special leave. 

20. Special leave may be repeated, without allowances, 
after intervals of at least six years’ actual service. 

GENERAL. 

21. Applications for leave shall in all cases be submitted 
in such manner as the Govern or-General of India in 
Council may from time to time prescribe. 

22. Furlough, privilege leave, and special leave shall 
not be taken as such in continuation of each other; but 
if a Chaplain absent on one of these classes of leave be 
allowed to change it for another, the whole period of his 
absence shall be held to be under the class of leave for 
which it was changed. 

23. Subject to considerations of State, there shall be no 
restriction as to the places where a Chaplain may reside 
when on leave. 

24. Leave allowance shall be payable monthly if pay¬ 
ment is taken in India, and quarterly if payment is taken 
in England. When furlough is taken in England, an 
advance of the first quarter’s allowances may be made in 
India. Such advance shall not be recoverable in case of 
death. 

25. The term of residence qualifying for pension shall 
be, in the case of Chaplains appointed before the 11th 
January, 1854, fifteen years; and in the case of Chaplains 
appointed on or after that date, seventeen years; but

BP and CA, CP and AB are all equal to each 
other, and meet in a point. 

2. In the multiplication of algebraic polynomials, the 

sign of the product of any two terms is taken to be 
positive or negative according as the terms have 
like or unlike signs. Explain the reason of this.

7. Show that in any equation of the form— 

ax n + 6» n-1 +.= 0, 

the greatest negative coefficient taken positively 
plus unity is a superior limit to the positive roots 
of the equation.

8. Find the cosine of the angle between the two straight 

lines— 

A*+B?/ +C = 0 7 
Ax + B'y + C' = 0j 

and thence deduce the condition of perpendicularity. 

Write down, without proof, the equations to the 
two straight lines which bisect the angles between 
these straight lines. 

9. Investigate the conditions that the equation— 

ast? + 2 bxy + cy 2 + 2 dx + 2 ey -f / — 0

makes equal angles with the tangents at its 
extremities. 

13. Define an asymptote. Find the asymptotes to the 

algebraic curve—

1. About thirty years before this time a Mohammedan 
soldier had begun to distinguish himself in the wars of 
Southern India. His education had been neglected; his 
extraction was humble. His father had been a petty officer 
of revenue; his grandfather a wandering dervise. But 
though thus meanly descended, though ignorant even of 
the alphabet, the adventurer had no sooner been placed at 
the head of a body of troops than he approved himself a 
man born for conquest and command. Among the crowd 
of chiefs who were struggling for a share of India, none 
could compare with him in the qualities of the captain 
and the statesman. He became a general; he became a 
sovereign. Out of the fragments of old principalities, 
which had gone to pieces in the general wreck, he formed 
for himself a great, compact, and vigorous empire. That 
empire he ruled with the ability, severity, and vigilance of 

Louis XI.He was an oppressor; but he 

had at least the merit of protecting his people against all 
oppression except his own. He was now in extreme old 
age; but his intellect was as clear, and his spirit as high, 
as in the prime of manhood. Such was the great Hyder 
Ali, the founder of the Mohammedan kingdom of Mysore, 
and the most formidable enemy with whom the English 
conquerors of India have ever had to contend.

the army, is far more to be honoured than the conqueror 
of Zama. This we should the more carefully hear in 
mind, because our tendency is to admire individual 
greatness far more than national; and as no single 
Roman will bear comparison with Hannibal, we are apt 
to murmur at the event of the contest, and to think that 
the victory was awarded to-the least worthy of the com¬ 
batants. On the contrary, never was the wisdom of 
God’s providence more manifest than in the issue of the 
struggle between Rome and Carthage. It was clearly 
for the good of mankind that Hannibal should be con¬ 
quered ; his triumph would have stopped the progress of 
the world. For great men can only act permanently by 
forming great nations ; and no one man, even though it 
were Hannibal himself, can in one generation effect such 
a work. But where the nation has been merely enkindled 
for a while by a great man’s spirit, the light passes away 
with him who communicated it; and the nation, when 
he is gone, is like a dead body, to which magic power had 
for a moment given an unnatural life ; when the charm 
has ceased, the body is cold and stiff as before.

Et post Punica bella quietus quaerere coepit, 

Quid Sophocles et Thespis et .ZEschylus utile ferrent. 
Tentavit quoque rem, si digne vertere posset, 

Et placuit sibi, natura sublimis et acer; 

Nam spirat tragicum satis et feliciter audet, 

Sed turpem putat inscite metuitque lituram. 

Creditur, ex medio quia res arcessit, habere 
Sudoris minimum, sed habet comoedia tanto 
Plus oneris, quanto veniae minus. Ad spice, Plautus 
Quo pacto partes tutetur amantis ephebi,

Quantus sit Dossennus edacibus in parasitis, 

Quam non adstricto percuriat pulpita socco; 

Gestit enim nummum in loculos demittere, post hoc 
Securus, cadat, an recto stet fabula talo. Horace . 


Quod superest, aes atque aurum ferrumque repertum est,

Pandere agros pinguee, et pascua reddere rura;

TRANSLATION INTO LATIN. 

Translate into Latin Prose :— 

Society is indeed a contract. Subordinate contracts 
for objects of mere occasional interest may be dissolved 
at pleasure, but the State ought not to be considered as 
nothing better than a partnership agreement in a trade 
of pepper and coffee, calico or tobacco, or some other 
such low concern, to be taken up for a little temporary 
interest, and to be dissolved by the fancy of the parties. 
It is to be looked on with other reverence; because it is 
not a partnership in things subservient only to the gross 
animal existence of a temporary and perishable nature. 
It is a partnership in all science, a partnership in all art, 
a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As 
the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in 
many generations, it becomes a partnership not only 
between those who are living, but between those who are 
living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born. 
Each contract of each particular State is but a clause in

the great primeval contract of eternal society, linking 
the lower with the higher natures, connecting the visible 
and invisible world, according to a fixed compact sanc¬ 
tioned by the inviolable oath which holds all physical 
and all moral natures, each iii their appointed place. 
This law is not subject to the will of those who, by an 
obligation above them, and infinitely superior, are bound 
to submit their will to that law. The municipal cor¬ 
porations of that universal kingdom are not morally at 
liberty at their pleasure, and on their speculations of a 
contingent improvement, wholly to separate and tear 
asunder the bands of their subordinate community, and 
to dissolve it into an unsocial, uncivil, unconnected chaos 
of elementary principles. It is the first and supreme ne¬ 
cessity only, a necessity that is not chosen, but chooses, 
a necessity paramount to deliberation, that admits no 
discussion, and demands no evidence, which alone can 
justify a resort to anarchy. BurTce .

I wandered by the brookside, 

I wandered by the mill ; 

I could not hear the brook flow, 

The noisy wheel was still; 

There was no burr of grasshopper, 
Nor chirp of any bird; 

But the beating of my own heart 
Was all the sound I heard. 

He came not—no, he came not, 

The night came on alone; 

The little stars sat one by one 
Each on his golden throne; 

The evening air passed by my cheek 
The leaves above were stirred; 

But the beating of my own heart 
Was all the sound i heard. 

Fast silent tears were flowing 
Where some one stood behind ,*

Is tlie flame quenchless? and are the gates that keep 
the way indeed passable no more ? or is it not rather that 
we no more desire to enter ? For what can we conceive 
of that first Eden which we might not yet win back, if 
we chose ? It was a place full of flowers, we say. Well, 
the flowers are always striving to grow wherever we 
suffer them; and the fairer, the closer. There may, 
indeed, have been a fall of flowers—as a fall of man; 
but assuredly creatures such as we are can fancy nothing 
lovelier than roses and lilies, which would grow for us 
till the earth was white and red with them, if we cared 
to have it so. And Paradise was full of pleasant shades 
and fruitful avenues. Well; what hinders us from 
covering as much of the world as we like with pleasant 
shade, and pure blossom, and goodly fruit? It was a 
place of peace, too, we say, and all the animals were 
gentle servants to us. Well; the world might yet be a 
place of peace to us, if we were all peacemakers, and 
gentle service should we have of its creatures if we gave 
them gentle masters. Buskin.

A comparison . 

The lapse of time and rivers is the same, 

Both speed their journey with a restless stream; 
The silent pace, with which they steal away, 

No wealth can bribe, nor prayers persuade to stay; 
Alike irrevocable both when past, 

And a wide ocean swallows both at last. 

Though each resemble each in every part, 

A difference strikes at length the musing heart; 
Streams never flow in vain; where streams abound, 
How laughs the land with various plenty crowned! 
But time, that should enrich the nobler mind, 
Neglected, leaves a weary waste behind. 

Cowper. 


Taste: how depraved . 

Let us consider by what means taste is usually de¬ 
praved and lost in a nation that is neither conquered by 
barbarians, nor has lost the improvements in agriculture, 
husbandry, and defence, that allow men leisure for re¬ 
flection and embellishment. . . . When people of 

mean parts, and of pride without genius, get into elevated 
stations, they want a taste for simple grandeur, and 
mistake for it what is uncommonly glaring and extra¬ 
ordinary; whence proceeds false wit of every kind, a 
gaudy richness in dress, an oppressive load of ornament 
in building, and a grandeur overstrained and puerile 
universally. I must observe, that people of bad taste 
and little genius almost always lay a great stress on 
trivial matters, and are ostentatious and exact in singu¬ 
larities, or in a decorum in trifles. When people of mean 
parts appear in high stations, and at the head of the 
fashionable world, they cannot fail to introduce a false 
embroidered habit of mind; and at length solitary taste, 
adorned only by noble simplicity, will be lost in the 
general example. 

Also when a nation is much corrupted, when avarice 
and love of gain have seized upon the hearts of men,

tlien decency, elevated principles, and greatness of soul 
expire, and all that remains is a comedy or puppet-show

disguise of virtues which it is not possessed of.

{German characters should be used.) 

Till the middle of the eighteenth century Germany was, 
in one important respect, singular among the great nations 
of Christendom. She had attained a high rank in Europe 
by discoveries and inventions, by science, by abstract 
speculation as well as positive knowledge, by the genius 
and the art of war, and above all by the theological revo¬ 
lution which unfettered the understanding in one part of 
Europe, and loosened its chains in the other; but she was 
without a national literature. The country of Gutten- 
burg, of Copernicus, of Luther, of Kepler, and of Leibnitz 
had no writer in her own language whose name was 
known to the neighbouring nations. German captains 
and statesmen, philosophers and scholars, were celebrated; 
but German writers were unknown. A great revolution, 
however, at length began, which, in the course of half a 
century, terminated in bestowing on Germany a literature, 
perhaps the most characteristic possessed by any European 
nation. It had the important peculiarity of being the 
first which had its birth in an enlightened age.

the Vizier were riding upon two coursers, and while they 
were engaged in conversation the troops advanced before 
them. The heat had become oppressive, and a violent 
thirst had affected both ; so the Prince cast his eyes 
around, and saw a distant object faintly appearing upon 
a high mound ; so he said to the Vizier, 1 ‘ Dost thou see 
what I see?” and the Vizier answered, “I behold a 
distant object, which is either the keeper of a garden 
or the porter of a dwelling, and in either case I will go 
to him and bring thee some water.” The Prince re¬ 
plied, ‘ ‘ My steed is more swift than thine, therefore stay 
thou with the troops, and I will go to the station of 
this person.” So he urged on his horse, and arrived in 
the twinkling of an eye at that place, where he beheld 
a fisherman of horrible form, with dishevelled hair, re¬ 
sembling an ifreet or a lion.

show kindness and affection to their offspring, so does he 
compassionate their condition. For, when God created 
the animals, and bestowed on them various forms, he 
made some powerful and others feeble, some great and 
others diminutive ; yet, in his bounty and munificence, 
he is the same to all. He endowed the elephant with 
great stature and immense strength, and gave him two 
long tusks with which to defend himself from the onset of 
ravenous beasts. The gnat he has made minute in body ; 
but he has provided him with two very delicate wings, 
by means of which he flies, and saves himself from his 
enemies. In these benefits, from which they derive ad¬ 
vantage, and by which they are secured from evil, small 
and great are alike. 

b. The chiefs of the beasts always exhibit affection and 
friendliness for their subjects. Similarly, the governors 
of the ants and of the birds occupy themselves with the 
welfare and control of their people ; and for this they 
expect nothing in return. Nor do they count on any 
recompence from their young, for rearing them. On the 
other hand, men, for bringing up their children, exact 
service from them.

II. 

For translation into Urdu :— 

The passions beckon the mind aside ; but conscience 
seeks to draw it back to the road, whenever it is swerving. 
Often does passion call too loud, and conscience whisper 
too softly and too late. Such is the fate of man. His 
reason can but counsel, while his vices drag him vio¬ 
lently along. The one has only lessons and remedies to 
suggest; the others offer pleasures and conceal dangers. 
This is not the apology, but the cause, of oar errors. 
Accordingly, no mortal can wholly escape; and the man 
who attains the proper end of his being is not so much he 
who excels in wisdom, as he who falls short in absurdity. 
No one follows constantly and without deviation the true 
path ; but those are the happiest who the least frequently 
stray. 


JURISPRUDENCE. 

3. Explain the meanings of the word “ Sovereign,” and

exercised ? 

4. What are the constituent parts of a Parliament, and 

the peculiar powers and duties of each part ?

Slavery in its latest stage. 

10. What are the uses of the institution of Private Pro¬ 

perty ? What are the theoretical limitations of it ? 
Why should we not expect to find it in the 
earliest stages of human society ? 

11. What appeals, or remedies of the nature of an appeal, 

were allowed in Civil Cases by Roman Law ? 

12. What are the sanctions of an Act of Parliament 

to the breach of which no express penalty is 
attached ? 


JURISPRUDENCE. 

1. Why is it just that a seller should be held bound by 

an obligation of warranty ? What was the nature of 
that obligation in Roman Law ? 

2. What reasons are there for the legal doctrine that 

rights may be created, transferred, or barred, by 
lapse of time ? In what modes was this principle 
applied by Roman Law ? What are the general 
conditions under which lapse of time should be 
held to produce these effects ? 

3. What is the technical meaning of “duress” in 

English Law ? Why should coercion invalidate a 
contract 1 

4. In what respects do the Roman law of Tutela and 

Curatela, and the English law of Guardian and

give examples. 

6. Within what limits may “superior need” or “an¬ 

terior service” be recognised by law as founding a 
claim to receive services or advantages from others ? 
Give examples from Roman and English Law. 

7. “Ex nudo pacto non oritur actio.” In what senses

damages in actions for breach of contract. 

(a) A contracts to deliver to B 100 quarters of 
wheat in good condition on the 1st January at 50s. 
a quarter. A delivers 50 quarters only on the 
day specified, of which 30 are in good condition, 
20 not. On the same day B sells 10 quarters of 
the good at a profit of 5s. a quarter, and also sells 
10 of the bad at 30s. a quarter. During January 
the price of wheat rises, and on the 1st of February 
B sells the remainder of the 50 quarters delivered 
by A, at 70s. a quarter for the good, and 36s. a 
quarter for the bad. Find the damages which B 
is entitled to recover from A for the breach of con¬ 
tract. 

(jS) In expectation that the above contract would 
be duly performed by A, B had contracted to 
deliver a certain quantity of wheat to C, which he 
has accordingly failed to deliver. C brings an 
action against B for non-delivery, and recovers 
£20 damages. Can B recover this sum as extra 
damage from A, in addition to the damages 
measured by the facts as stated in (a) ?

of admissibility, the various descriptions of evidence avail¬ 
able for giving this proof. 

Why should any larger proof be required of genuine 
execution by the person whose signature is alleged in the 
case of a will, than in that of any other document 
involving legal consequences ? State the rules for the 
proof of wills, and analyse the contents of the ordinary 
attestation-clause attached to them. 

7. Go fully into the topic of hearsay. 


LAW OF EVIDENCE. 

1. Enumerate the various defences that can be set up 

to an action on simple contract : classing separately 
those by which the obligation is denied to have 
arisen, and those by which the obligation is alleged 
to have been extinguished. Give a specific illustra¬ 
tion in any kind of contract you please. 

2. Under what head of evidence do you class estoppels ? 

What is meant by the rules— 

Estoppels must be certain to every intent: 
Estoppels must be reciprocal : 
and how are such rules reasonable ? 

State the chief conclusive presumptions laid down 
by the law with respect to infants. 

3. Mention disputable presumptions of law attaching to 

partnership, 

to the ostensible relation of marriage, 
to the proved relation of marriage, 
to contracts under seal,

during B’s life if he survives A ? 
after the death of both ? 

Give the reasons for your answers. 

5. A business entry is made by a principal in the busi¬

tion which makes the entry of a subordinate 
admissible as evidence applies to the entry of the 
principal. 

6. Evidence is given of an act done by A (party to the 

suit) or by B (A’s agent in the transaction out of 
which the suit has arisen) bearing on the main 
issue, but equivocally, until explained. Show by 
positive and negative instances the limits within 
which evidence of statements made by A, or by B, 
will be admissible to fix the intention with which 
such act was done. 

7. State what the party who calls upon a Court of 

Error to grant a new trial, on the ground of the 
wrongful admission, or wrongful rejection, of 
evidence by the Court below, must be prepared to

Code of Criminal Procedure. 

1. When a police officer is engaged in making an in¬ 
quiry into an offence, for which he may arrest without 
warrant, what record of his proceedings is he re¬ 
quired to keep, and what is to be done with the 
record so kept ? On the completion of the inquiry, 
to whom is the result to be reported, what is the 
report to contain, and with what is it to be accom¬ 
panied ? Is the officer who made the inquiry 



INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE. 


197 


required to give an opinion as to the guilt or inno¬ 
cence of the accused person ? If he consider that 
there is not sufficient proof for the conviction of 
the accused, has he any discretionary power as to 
releasing him ? Quote the general rule of the Code 
in respect to the discharge by the police of persons 
accused of offences, who may have been apprehended 
with or without warrant. 

2. What is the duty of a police officer on receiving 

notice or information of the unnatural or sudden 
death of any person within the limits of his juris¬ 
diction ? May the duty be performed by all police 
officers, or only by officers in charge of police 
stations ? In the latter case, what is to be done in 
the event of the absence of the officer in charge of 
the station? 

3. May a magistrate interfere with a view either to 

prevent any person from performing a particular 
act, or to compel him to take order in respect of 
any property in his possession, or under his manage¬ 
ment ? Have all magistrates this power, if it exists, 
or only particular and what classes ? How is the' 
power to be exercised, and on what grounds ? 

4. In the preliminary inquiry in a case in which the 

accused is charged with culpable homicide, he 
claims the benefit of the general exception contained 
in the Code under the head of intoxication. The 
magistrate, not satisfied that the degree of intoxi¬ 
cation under which the accused was labouring when 
he committed the act charged was such as to relieve 
him from criminal responsibility, or that the in¬ 
toxication was caused against his will, determines 
to send him for trial before the Court of Session. 
Must the charge upon which the accused is com¬ 
mitted set forth the circumstances which, in the 
opinion of the magistrate, show that the case is not 
within the exception relied upon by the accused, 
or formally allege that the case does not fall 
within that exception, or what is the rule on the 
point ? Is the prosecutor required to prove at the 
trial in the first instance the absence of such cir- 


198 


GUIDE TO THE 


cumstances ? If lie should not do so, and the 
accused should adduce evidence of their existence, 
may evidence be adduced on the part of the prose¬ 
cutor to rebut it ? 

5. In trials before the Court of Session, what written 

evidence other than that taken by or in the pre¬ 
sence of the Judge, holding the trial, is admissible, 
whether on the part of the prosecution or for the 
defence ? Does such evidence require to be proved 
before it can be received ? 

6. A having fired a gun at B and wounded him so 

severely as to endanger his life, is tried for volun¬ 
tarily causing grievous hurt to B, and is sentenced 
to the longest term of imprisonment provided for 
that offence. Shortly after, B dies, and the result 
of a post-mortem examination leaving no doubt 
that his death was the consequence of the wound 
inflicted by A, A is again put on his trial on the 
charge of murder. In bar, he pleads that under 
the Code a person who has once been tried for an 
offence, and convicted, is not liable to be tried 
again for the same offence, or any act connected 
therewith. Would this be a good defence in the 
case as put, and exempt A from being tried a second 
time ? Would the answer be the same, or different, 
if A had been acquitted for want of proof on the 
first trial ? 

7. When a trial by a Jury is to be held, how are the 

persons who are to constitute the Jury to be chosen ? 
In trials held with the aid of Assessors is the rule 
as to their selection the same ? What are the grounds 
on which objection may be taken to a Juror? Is 
the number of challenges limited, or may the whole 
of the Jurors be objected to ? Must the verdict be 
unanimous for conviction or acquittal ? If not, will 
a bare majority be sufficient, or what must be the 
proportion if the Jury consist of five, seven, or 
nine persons ? If the majority for conviction or 
acquittal consist of less than the prescribed number, 
what is to be done ? 

8. What powers does the Code give in order to the re¬ 

moval of local nuisances, and by what Courts or 


INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE. 


199 


Officers may those powers be exercised ? What are 
comprehended within the term “local nuisances;” 
and what is the procedure to be followed in cases 
in which it may appear proper to order the removal 
of any such nuisance ? 

9. When a person is convicted by a Civil Court under the 
chapter of the Code relating to contempts and dis¬ 
obedience of orders, is the conviction open to ap¬ 
peal ? If so, to what Court does the appeal lie, and 
to what rules is if subject ? 

10. What are the powers of the High Courts as Courts of 
Revision, and for what purpose have those Courts 
also been constituted Courts of Reference ? 


Letters Patent for the High Courts of Judicature. 

1. In what respects does the extraordinary original civil 

jurisdiction, vested in the High Courts by the 
Letters Patent differ from their ordinary original 
civil jurisdiction ? 

2. Are the High Courts, in the exercise of their civil 

jurisdiction, required to regulate their proceedings 
by the Code of Procedure which governs the pro¬ 
ceedings of the Courts in India not established by 
Royal Charter ? If not, by what rules are the High 
Courts required to regulate their proceedings : 

1st. In the exercise of their ordinary original 
civil jurisdiction; 

2nd. In the exercise of their extraordinary original 
civil jurisdiction ; 

3rd. In the exercise of their appellate jurisdiction; 
and 

4th. In the proceedings coming before them in 
the exercise of the other jurisdictions with which 
they are invested ? 

3. Who may appeal to the Privy Council from final judg¬ 

ments, decrees, or orders of the High Courts on 
the civil side ? Does such appeal lie from decisions 
and orders passed by the High- Courts in the exer¬ 
cise of their appellate as well as of their original 
civil jurisdiction, or is it confined to the latter ? Is 
the appeal allowed as of right in all cases, or is it

GUIDE TO THE 


dependent upon any and what conditions ? In the 
latter case may an appeal to the Privy Council be 
allowed in any case notwithstanding that it does 
not fall within any of the prescribed conditions ? If 
so, what is necessary in order to the appeal being 
allowed in any such case ? 

4. Do the provisions contained in the Letters Patent 

relating to appeals from interlocutory or preliminary 
judgments or orders of the High Courts correspond 
with or differ from the Code of Procedure by which 
the Civil Courts in India not established by Royal 
Charter are required to regulate their proceedings ? 
If they differ, in what does the difference consist ? 

5. To what extent does the criminal jurisdiction exercised 

by the High Courts correspond with the criminal 
jurisdiction exercised by the late Sudder Courts 
whose places the High Courts have taken; and in 
what respects does the criminal jurisdiction of the 
High Courts differ from the criminal jurisdiction of 
the late Sudder Courts ? 

6. What criminal law is administered by the High Courts 

in the exercise of their ordinary original criminal 
jurisdiction % Is the same or a different law admi¬ 
nistered by the High Courts in the exercise of their 
extraordinary original criminal jurisdiction, and by 
what law are they required to be governed in the 
exercise of their criminal appellate jurisdiction ? 

7. Have the High Courts, on the criminal side, an appel¬ 

late jurisdiction corresponding to that which they 
exercise on the civil side in respect of decisions and 
orders passed by single Judges, or Division Courts 
composed of two Judges of the Court, in the exer¬ 
cise of their original civil jurisdiction 1 If not, do 
the Letters Patent contain any other and what pro¬ 
visions for the revision, either in the way of appeal 
or otherwise, of the decisions and orders of the 
High Courts, in the exercise of their original cri¬ 
minal jurisdiction, on points of law or on the 
evidence ?

point subject to any and what proviso ? 

2. Has a defendant the right in any and what description 

of suits to set off a sum claimed to be due to him by 
the plaintiff against the claim of the plaintiff ? In 
what form is the defendant’s claim to a set-off, if 
admissible, to be preferred ? If in a case in which a 
defendant may clain a set-off, the amount of his 
claim exceeds the pecuniary jurisdiction of the 
Court in which the suit is pending, may the de¬ 
fendant include his entire claim, or only so much 
of it as may equal the claim of the plaintiff, or may 
be within the pecuniary jurisdiction of the Court, 
and institute a separate suit for the rest; or what is 
required of him in such case in order that the Court 
may enter into the merits of his claim '! Where 
cross decrees maybe given between the parties, what 
is the course to be followed in their execution ? 

3. If any plaint, written statement, or declaration in 

writing, which is required by the Code to be verified, 
contains any averment which the person making 
the verification knows or believes to be false, or 
does not know or believe to be true, to what punish 
ment is he liable ? May the punishment be awarded 
by the Court in which such averment is made ? If 
not, how is such Court to proceed in order that the 
offender may receive the punishment to which he 
is liable ? 

4. Does the Code require that oral evidence shall invaria-

GUIDE TO THE 


bly be taken by or in the presence of the Judge of 
the Court in which a suit is pending, or does it 
allow any deviation from the general rule on this 
point ? In the latter case, under what circumstances 
is a deviation allowed, and, when it is permitted, 
how is the evidence to be taken ? What power has 
the Court of causing a local investigation, or an 
examination of disputed accounts, by some agency 
other than that of the Judge of the Court, and what 
is the procedure to be observed when such local 
inquiry, or examination or adjustment of accounts, 
is ordered 1 

5. How are claims to property attached before judgment 
under the rales applicable to such attachments, or 
objections to the sale of property in execution of a 
decree, whether attached before or after judgment, 
to be inquired into and determined ? Do the same 
rules apply to both movable and immovable 
property, and are they subject to any and what 
proviso ? Is the order passed by the Court in the 
case open to appeal ? If not, has the party against 
whom the order is given any other and what 
remedy ? 

0. When the parties to a suit are agreed as to the point or 
points at issue between them, and are willing that 
the suit shall be determined according to the 
decision of the Court upon such point or points,

7. A brought a suit against B to restrain him in the 

commission of a wrongful act, and obtained a 
decree ; B threatens to repeat the act, or to commit

is resisted or obstructed by any person, how is such 
resistance or obstruction to be dealt with ? Describe 
generally the procedure to be observed when the 
resistance or obstruction is offered by the person 
against whom the decree was passed, or some other 
person at his instigation, and when the resistance 
or obstruction proceeds from some person other 
than the defendant claiming bond Jide to be in

9. If in an appealed suit the Court of first instance shall 
have disposed of the case upon any preliminary 
point of law, such as limitation or the like, and the 
Court hearing the appeal shall be of opinion that 
the decision of the Court below on such point is 
erroneous, must it remand the case to . the Court 
which passed the decision appealed against ? J f so, 
what instructions should it give to that Court ? Or 
may the appellate Court proceed to decide the 
appeal on some ground other than that on which it

law, involved in the decision, or the construction 
of a document affecting the merits of the case ? 


Hindu Law. 

1. Mention some of the principal points on which the law 
of inheritance as current in the schools of Benares 
and Bengal differs. 



204 GUIDE TO THE 

2. Are all the schools agreed as to the right of daughters’ 

sons to inherit in default of qualified daughters ? 
If not, which of the schools recognise the right of 
such sons, and which of them do not recognise it ? 
If there be sons of more daughters than one, does 
the same principle of succession apply to those who 
are entitled to inherit, as to sons’ sons, or is the 
distribution regulated by a different principle ? In 
the latter case, how should the distribution be 
made ? 

3. What is the law as current in Bengal and Benares in 

respect to the right to property acquired by one of 
several brothers living together as a joint undivided 
family on the ancestral landed property and sharing 
its profits ; as also in respect to improvements of 
joint property, effected by one of several brothers, 
living together as above ? 

4. What are the rules applicable to a partition before the 

death of the head of the family according to the 
law as current in Bengal, and in what respects does 
the law relating to such partitions, recognised in 
the other schools, differ from that of Bengal ? 

5. A father, whose elder son is alive, makes a gift to his 

younger son of all his ancestral and acquired 
property, both movable and immovable. Accord¬ 
ing to the law as current in Bengal, is such a gift 
valid ? If not valid, must it be set aside ? Give 
the reasons for the answer. 

6. Does the Hindu law fix any limit as to the age at which 

adoption may take place ? If not, does it impose 
any other and what restrictions of a cognate 
character ? 

7. At what age may betrothal take place between two 

persons of the Hindu persuasion ? Are any and 
what ceremonies prescribed to be observed on the 
occasion as essential ? If a contract of marriage 
should not proceed beyond the betrothal of the 
parties, could either of them claim release from the 
contract? Should the betrothed man die before 
the consummation of the marriage, what would be 
the effect of his death on the woman ? Would she 
inherit his property in the same manner as if the

amongst them depend ? 

3. To what extent does the Schia doctrine of inheritance 

coincide with that recognised by the Sunnis ? 
Mention some of the principal points on which the 
two schools differ. 

4. Who may claim partition of an estate which has

the husband’s continued possession of the property, 
valid, and does the property, on the death of the 
seller, belong to his widow, or is it to be taken as 
the estate of the deceased, and is it divisible as

Mr. Vansittart went down quickly to Calcutta to bring 
the matter before the Council. But Meer Cossim, with¬ 
out waiting for the debates in Council sent orders to his 
collectors of customs to exact from the English a duty of 
nine per cent, on all articles. The English did not assent 
to the payment of it, and placed the Nabob’s officers in 
confinement. The heads of the factories in the interior 
leaving their posts, proceeded in haste to Calcutta. The 
proposal made by Mr. Vansittart regarding the duty of 
nine per cent, was despised and rejected by all the 
members of Council, except Mr. Hastings. They all said 
that they would only pay two-and-a-half per cent, on 
salt.

1. On the northern hank of the river Narmada, on a high 
elevation, there is a city called Broch. On this account 
it is visible some three or four kos on all sides. From 
the opposite bank of the river its appearance is very 
pleasing, for there is a wall around the city ; and upon it 
bungalows and other houses are located. 

2. Thus the generous boy did, for his own father, and 
his little brothers ; and when the king heard this, he was 
much surprised ; and having called Sant&ji to him, he

he will give him 500 rupees every year. Laksbman and 
your other boys may learn what trades they please. I 
shall bear the expense of their instruction ; and if they 
walk in a proper way, I shall make them prosperous. 

3. Snow is of two kinds. When there falls much cold 
on the ground, the water of ponds, <fcc., congealing, be¬ 
comes like stone. The people of this country (India), by 
a mistake, call it snow. Sometimes the rain-clouds send 
down congealed rain ; and that also is called snow. But 
these two are different, therefore it would be well if they 
had different names. It will answer the purpose to call 
the former, according to the Persian, yakh, and the latter 
baraf.

2 . If, appropriating to their own use government paper, 
pens, and other articles, they represent this as govern¬

the one is theft, the other falsehood. So, if any one be 
toiling at a business, then to form an intimacy with him, 
and by getting into his secret, and cheating him, to carry 
on the same trade, and thus to render his labour fruitless, 
—in this there is a breach of faith.

the Mediterranean Sea, and throughout a very large por¬

A householder having appropriated a Pariar as a slave, 
asked him, “ What is your name V’ He said, u Sir, my 
name is Perumal,” which is another name of Vishnu. 
The householder was a worshipper of Vishnu, and there¬ 
fore being unwilling to call a Pariar Perumal, asked him, 
“ Will you take another name V’ He said, “ I may take 
another name, but it will involve a little expense. ” The 
householder replied, “Say how much it will involve.” 
The Pariar said, “ When my father was alive he expended 
thirty-five rupees and ten measures of rice in a festival 
to four Pariar villages to give me this name. To take 
this name away and give another would cost twice as 
much.”

dominions a man who had spoken ill of him, Philip 
replied, “I will take care not to do so, for he will then go 
everywhere and speak ill of me.” 

2. Do you ask me whether I would help a slave to gain 
his freedom 1 I answer, I would help him with heart and 
hand and voice. I would do for him what I shall wish I 
had done when, haying lost his dusky skin, he shall stand 
with me before our Master, who will say, “ Inasmuch as 
ye did it to him, slave as he was, ye did it to me. ” 

3. It may be the subject of serious consideration, 
whether those who are accustomed only to acquire 
instruction through the medium of amusement may not 
be brought to reject that which approaches under the 
aspect of study; whether those who learn history by 
the cards, may not be led to prefer the means to the end ; 
and whether, were we to teach religion in the way of 
sport, our pupils might not thereby be gradually induced 
to make sport of their religion.

a. There was a certain bard, exceedingly poor and 
unfortunate. He wandered about to the kings of all the 
earth, but did not get the profit of a single shell from any 
of them. Once, on returning home, he found that his 
daughter had come to be of marriageable age. He was 
grieving at this, when his wife said, “ You have roamed 
over all countries : tell me what you have gained.” He 
replied, “Riches are not in my destiny.” 

b. Having received this order, they all prostrated them¬ 
selves, and then departed. Coming into the city, they , 
sought, and seized, and proceeded to bind. Ho one 
whom they found, whether eating, drinking, standing, 
sitting, sleeping, watching, going, or returning, did they 
spare. They encircled them, and brought them to one 
place, and tortured and slew them all, by burning, and 
drowning, and dashing to pieces. Assuming the guise of 
fearful forms, they explored city after city, town after 
town, street after street, and house after house, and in' 
this wise destroyed the race of Yadu.

governed by written and oral traditions derived to them 
from their remote forefathers, and of which they must 
have apprehended much of the significance. With our 
acquaintance with the modes of thought and expression 
that obtained among other early races, we are, of course, 
better qualified, in some respects, than the commenta¬ 
tors of whom we speak, to unlock the Yaidik riddles. On 
the other hand, we are constrained to admit, that, in 
some respects, they possessed advantages which we can¬ 
not recall. Very probably, nay, quite certainly, they are 
often in the wrong. Yet we cannot, with any prudence, 
venture to guess what the Rig Veda means, until we have 
taken counsel with them, and pointed out wherein they 
went amiss,.

He read to the end. 

6. Translate the following, using the aorist of the verb, 

and give two examples yourself of this use of thp 
aorist: 

He will come to-morrow. 

It may perhaps be so. 

Can it be so ? 

7. Give two or three short sentences showing how the 

impersonal verbs “ it seems,” “it ought,” are ren¬

the people, inquire who are rich and who are poor, and 
protect the latter by giving them food and raiment from

When does the cultivation of the dry grains commence, 
and when are the crops generally ripe ?

I have lived in this town from the days of the Mogul 
government, and have carried on trade; never before was 
such oppression seen. Douceurs (dallale) are practised in 
every town, and not in this town alone. I am ready 
to prove all I have written above by many merchants 
and many accounts. Therefore I pray that you (your 
honour) will consider this petition, and on inquiring 
personally into it, it will be clear that the officials are 
troubling merchants like myself, acquiring daily two or 
three rupees as fees on goods. In the event of your 
not personally instituting an inquiry into this, certainly 
I cannot stay in this town. 


III. 

Of those who are here there is no one who desires my 
welfare. There is no acquaintance between me and the 
person who has newly arrived. As there is now an 
opening to high employ and a path to it, I make the 
following request. This newly arrived person has read 
Telugu, and is fond of the Telugu language. One or two 
persons are coming here who hope to get employ. If I 
can obtain a recommendation from you, I imagine that the 
person I have mentioned will not fail to give me the 
employment I desire. Anything that you may now write 
regarding me will be most beneficial.

An ox was one day grazing in a meadow. Some very 
little frogs were playing there. One of them was crushed 
to death under the ox’s feet. The other [little] frogs went 
home and reported this [sad] news to their mother. They 
said, “Mother, we never saw such a large animal.” 
Hearing this the [mother] frog puffed out her belly greatly, 
and asked, “ Was he as big as this ?” They said, “ Very 
much bigger than that, mother. ” Again, having puffed

They said, “ Mother, though you should putf your belly 
out until it burst, yet you would never reach to an 
equality with it.” Hearing this, she in [her] pride pro¬ 
ceeded to puff herself out still more, and died by the 
bursting of her belly. 


B. 

Some time after, Akbar pitched his camp in the town of 
Ajmlr, and made all ready for an engagement with Pra¬ 
tapsing. At that time, for the greater part, all the kings 
and chieftains were on Akbar’s side. One or two of them 
had given their daughters [in marriage] into his family. 
As they were Rajputs and the [emperor] himself a Mussul¬ 
man, he gave them some territory in consideration of 
their having given their daughters into his family. 
Through that greed of [increase to their territory] some of 
the remaining kings came over to him. Yet Pratapsing 
was not at all daunted. He had never had any connection 
with him, nor had he ever had any connection with those 
who were connected with him. I will write below a story 
that the people tell of him, and from it it will be under¬ 
stood, how much Pratapsing disliked those who had formed 
affinity with Akbar.

A. 

A certain man, while he was passing along near the 
king’s palace, was robbed by thieves. This fact he went 
and reported to the king. The king said, “ Why were 
yon not on your guard?” He said [replied], “Sire, 1 did 
not suppose thieves would rob [one] under the eaves of the 
royal palace.” The king answered, “How [comes it] you 
have not heard this proverb, i [Just] under the lamp 
there is darkness?’ ”

When Humayun had reached Shal, about 130 miles 
south of Candahar, a horseman, sent by one of his own 
adherents, galloped up to his tent, sprung from his horse,

and, without quitting the bridle, rushed into the tent, 
and announced that Mirza Askari was close at hand, with 
a design of making Humayun prisoner. So little was he 
prepared for this intelligence, that he had only time to 
place his queen on his own horse, and was obliged to leave 
her child to the compassion of his uncle. Mirza soon 
after arrived. He pretended to have come with friendly 
intentions, treated his infant nephew with affection, and 
removed the whole party to Candahar [Dec. 14, 1543]. 
Meanwhile Humayun, accompanied by forty-two followers, 
escaped to the Garmsir, and thence to Sistan, which was 
then under the Persian Government. He was received 
with great respect by the governor, and sent on to Herat, 
to wait the orders of the King of Persia. At the latter 
city he was joined by several of his partisans from Canda¬ 
har.

I. 

After much delay we mo red to a place near the centre 
of the town, when the camel-drivers made a dead halt, and 
refused to proceed. Upon inquiry, the leaders, with much 
abuse, let me know that they had received no money, 
and would not move without their hire. The truth 
then came out. The Daroglia had made the requisition 
for beasts of burden a pretext for levying a contribution 
on the inhabitants of the town, and we were told he had 
already collected more than a hundred rupees for excusing 
such as had animals, but who did not wish to have them 
thus employed. Of all this not one farthing had reached 
the men. So I was forced to pay the money out of my 
own pocket, and then we moved on without further delay. 
I mention this occurrence because it illustrates the true 
character of Persian generosity. When a stranger applies 
for assistance, he finds his cause espoused with an alacrity 
which leads him to hope everything; the great man swears 
by his eyes, by your head, by his own, that all you re¬ 
quire shall be granted ; that he will frank you through his 
territories ; but here the matter generally rests : lie never 
thinks of enforcing, if indeed he ever thought of giving 
the necessary orders ; his servants, at all events, make 
these orders a pretext for extortion. You are ill served, 
and bitterly cursed, and those forced to serve you are 
wretchedly, if at all paid. 

II. 

I regret much that I did not follow your advice. 

He will be obliged to repay the sum which he has 
borrowed. 

How long has this regulation been in force ? 

I find that I misunderstood what you said to me, when 
we were travelling to the North-West Provinces.

To be translated into Arabic :— 


I. 

He performed the Friday prayers, and returned to the 
palace, and taking a leathern bag or purse, he filled it 
with jewels and gold, and the value of the jewels was 
thirty thousand pieces of silver. He then waited until 
morning, and went forward, not having informed any one ; 
and he overtook a caravan and saw an inhabitant of the 
desert, and said to him, 1 ‘ O uncle, what distance is between 
me and Baghdad ?” He replied, “ O my son, where art thou, 
and where is Baghdad? Verily between thee and it is a 
space of two months’ journey.” And the youth said to 
him, “ 0 uncle, if thou wilt conduct me to Baghdad I will 
give thee a hundred pieces of gold and this mare that is 
beneath me, the value of which is a thousand pieces of 
gold.” Upon this the man replied, ‘‘God is witness of what 
we say. But thou shall not lodge this night save with me.” 
So the youth assented, and when daybreak appeared they 
proceeded quickly by the nearest way, and they ceased not 
to journey until they arrived at the walls of Baghdad, 
when the guide said, ‘‘Praise be to God for safety ! O my 
master, this is Baghdad.” The young man then rejoiced 
exceedingly, and alighted from the mare, and gave her to 
the man, with the money which he had promised. 


II. 

I am now going out; I will speak with you on my return. 
He is now in great prosperity. 

The king and queen were both present. 

In the book which you gave me are many excellent 
precepts.
